This parish also contained a fourth manor, that of POTTON RECTORY, which appears to have originated from a grant made about 1094 by Simon de Senlis to St. Andrew's Priory, Northampton. In 1267 John de Sudington successfully claimed view of frankpledge in Potton for the prior, and in 1316 one of the same name was rendering feudal service here. In 1392 the prior enfeoffed the Friars Minor by Aldgate with the glebe and advowson of Potton, for which the latter paid a yearly pension of 66s. 8d. At the Dissolution the value of the property of the Friars Minor in Potton was £13 6s. 8d. During the sixteenth century Potton Rectory manor was leased by the crown to various tenants. Elizabeth leased it in 1579 to Richard Williams, and in 1591 sold it to Rowland Litton for £679 12s. 6d. By 1608 it had passed to John Burgoyne, who held the other manors in Potton, and it has since followed the same descent.
